Post Chanukah Let Down and Lift Up


Ending Chanukah can be rough - more than a little anticlimactic.
When your final Al Hanissim is said b'yechidus somewhere deep in the depths of a New Jersey office park, there is only one place to turn - to a brother.

An Open Letter to the Zakein Mamrei


Dear Zakein Mamrei:

To outsiders, we members of the revolution appear tough - some might even say we are 'brutal' in our tactics. But at heart, we are simply sensitive poet-warriors. Our hearts are not made of steel. Why, then, do you abandon us?

Your extended absence from this forum can signal only one thing: that Rebbe, and Rebbe's army, were simply another 'stage' among the many gilgulim of your life.

We beg of you, Zakein Mamrei - prove us wrong!

A revolution isn't for real until you put your co-revolutionaries on the guillotine block.

In Defense of the revolutions B.A. "Barackus" of the windy city


Consider this: Lieutenant Templeton "Face" Peck as he is lovingly called by his A -Team comrades is probably the least significant of the famed quartet. I pity the fool who thinks that our modern day B.A.'s muscle and heavy handed tactics are not needed. Perhaps we need to take a closer look at the famed "Face".
"Integral to every revolution are Three elements, the fourth is simply eye candy"
. 1) The Plan: Every revolution is in need of a cigar totting ex-military man who can provide the blue print for a hostile takeover, and who is deceivingly agile for his age.
2) The Clown: As the job of A mercenary can often be stressful a good jester is necessary to keep everybody loose and prevent fighting, especially when he can skillfully build a super fortress out of an old van in under an hour, and knows a good witch doctor
3)The Muscle (from the Midwest) While a beardless muscle is certainly less intimidating with or without facial hair, our modern day B.A. certainly strikes fear into the hearts of Rebbe doubters, and sends silly snags scouring for their siddurs.
4) The inconsequential "Face" Is often nowhere to be found as he is off womanizing. His character was only created to draw a female viewer base to an otherwise manly show.

In Defense of the corporate man from Fairlawn

While I don't mean do get mixed into any dirty Chicago politics I must say that while that is a cute picture of Rebbe and your little Rebbele sadly I must expose it as a fraud. You see it has been well documented that it is impossible to capture the true essence of Rebbe in a photograph. There have in fact been many attempts to place Rebbe in a still frame but all have been met with utter failure. It is well known that there are no photos of some of the biggest Rebbes even though many people tried to take their pic. Stories of film not developing properly, cossacks ransacking the kodak shop, and mysterious missing files have all lead to a void in true rebbe photos. While you have certainly embodied a physical image next to your son that bears an uncanny resembalence to our Rebbe it most certainly is lacking an air of authenticity
good day

We are all extensions of the Victory Niggun




Chevra,

I know that there has been some name calling and there has been some finger pointing...but the emes is that we need cool hard facts, no? Because otherwise are we not stooping to the level of those who denounce the different Rebbes and rat them out to jail? So Chevra, I will present exhibit A, NAMELY the second picture (I think the Chonester was numero Uno) of A Revival Kinder photographed with Rebbe. Does this not say it all? Those who wish to photograph their children with Rebbe fit one type while others who choose not to are another type. (Those who have their childrens birthday cake with Rebbes image get extra points) But you see, those who choose not to photograph with Rebbe, those are the "types" who have pictures of their children with such people as Captain Planet, Mickey Mouse, or Elizebeth Taylor. Is this what we want?

So the Score...
the YOGOhurt- 1
the corporate "man" from Fairlawn...well, I'll let YOU decide

Buying In, Not Selling Out





"Steven, I didn't sell out son. I bought in. Keep that in mind."

12/23/08

Rebbe once told me that if you squint and look at the chanukah neiros you will se something that you never saw before

Selling Out




"Selling out" refers to the compromising of one's integrity, morality and principles in exchange for money, 'success' (however defined) or other personal gain. It is commonly associated with attempts to increase mass appeal or acceptability to mainstream society. A person who does this, as opposed to continuing along his or her original path, is labelled a sellout and typically regarded with disgust and immediate loss of respect. Selling out is often seen as gaining success at the cost of credibility.


At a recent wedding, YOGOurt was spotted with a very neat, closely trimmed beard. Need I say more?

Better to burn out, than to fade away...



Rebbe's Victory Niggun - Part 3



May we see, with our own eyes, the destruction of those who will oppress us!

כִּי הִנֵּה אֹיְבֶיךָ ה כִּי-הִנֵּה אֹיְבֶיךָ יֹאבֵדוּ

Victory Niggun - Part 3 Revealed



We all know the power of Rebbe's Niggun.

It has the power to open gates, shatter iron curtains, and to pierce the throught he darkness of our own souls.

But we did not - until erev Chanukah - know part of 3 of Rebbe's niggun.

We do now.

Shall Our Sister be treated as a Whore?


ל וַיֹּאמֶר יַעֲקֹב אֶל-שִׁמְעוֹן וְאֶל-לֵוִי, עֲכַרְתֶּם אֹתִי, לְהַבְאִישֵׁנִי בְּיֹשֵׁב הָאָרֶץ, בַּכְּנַעֲנִי וּבַפְּרִזִּי; וַאֲנִי, מְתֵי מִסְפָּר, וְנֶאֶסְפוּ עָלַי וְהִכּוּנִי, וְנִשְׁמַדְתִּי אֲנִי וּבֵיתִי.

And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi: 'Ye have troubled me, to make me odious unto the inhabitants of the land, even unto the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and, I being few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and smite me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.'

וַיֹּאמְרוּ: הַכְזוֹנָה, יַעֲשֶׂה אֶת-אֲחוֹתֵנוּ.
And they said: 'Should one deal with our sister as with a harlot?'
As far as I can tell, Shimon and Levi had the last word.
